Meatspace life put on hold thanks to the 'lith

00:19 / 26.02.06

This will by my 787th post and my 34th thread. Yay for me. Since I started here in April of 2005, that's about 330 days. That means I've posted about 2.3848 times a day. I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but that is a lot considering I have school to be focusing on and I don't.

Thank you, Barbelith for helping me procrastinate.

You're wonderful.

Procrastinations
And celebrations
Da-da-da something...

Yay for procrastinating!

Is that the ANWU? The Adult Nappy Wearer's Union? I hear they've been calling for wides-pread changes.

Yeah dude, my method of writing papers and studying now involves checking the 'lith approximately every 5-10 minutes, regardless of what time it is and the amount of traffic. As a general rule it's never moving when I'm working but I check it anyway. Constantly. I've also made myself late to class through posting. Maybe I need to reevaluate my priorities? Probably.

00:00 / 27.02.06

I have three papers due by next week. Fuck em.

My bottom is achey from sitting on the sofa posting on Barbelith on my laptop. Perhaps I should sit at a table. Or throw my laptop in the bin and go and do something less bum-numbing instead.

00:16 / 27.02.06

I post in bed on my laptop. "And it's the most comfortable place" (Bright Eyes)

Rather than do work (specifically, work that is ostensibly supposed to be posted online 8 minutes from now) I just spent the last hour composing a response to the 'Larry the Cable Guy' thread. I, too, am in my bed using a laptop. It's glorious.

05:00 / 27.02.06

Supposed to go to sleep. Haven't. 1 in the morning right now where I live. Sleepy.

05:07 / 27.02.06

Oh, I'm on the 'Lith whenever I can't sleep. I even have a special packet of purple jelly babies and purple fruit pastilles and purple wine gums I've stashed away in the drawer especially for these nocturnal moments. Yep, that's right- I've been eating the whole packet apart from the purple ones and storing them in this packet until I've got a meal as black as coal and as sugary as treacle, delicious- spattered on my lips like blueberry juice. My midnight feast of darkness. I drink Ribena too.

I fuck shit up while I'm on the 'Lith. So there.

Sax, man, posting on the 'lith is a revolutionary act; just like offing a pig or fucking in the streets.
I may look like a flabby pasty individual sat in front a monitor with hob-nob crumbs all down my t-shirt but in fact I am a fucking-shit-up machine smashing the system and ridding teh sheeple of their foolish illusions. Just like in the Matrix.

No, it's true, stop laughing.

Legba, that must have taken huge amounts of self control. I am very impressed.

03:28 / 10.03.06

933rd post and I have a huuuuuuuuuuge paper due on Emerson/Hawthorne in about a week and a half. The good news is that I've done most of the research. The bad news is that I still have to synthesize the material into a coherant thread.

03:31 / 10.03.06

Talk about procrastinating; I have a further 1500 words to write with 6 hours before hand in time and I'm posting on the lith right now.

08:56 / 10.03.06

So have you started that paper yet, Shrub?

My boss has missed work today, so the only thing I've done so far is to read and post in Barbelith.

I swear to something, this forum will get me fired one of this days

There's a phenomenology of Net experience sitting upstairs right now, and I have to read it for class next week. And I want to read it. I've been looking forward to reading it for months.

But...the 'lith...it calls...

13:58 / 10.03.06

Legba, that must have taken huge amounts of self control. I am very impressed.

We all must attend the chapel perilous, my dear.

pointless & uncalled for

I have been fired for excessive internet abusage which really was all posting on the 'lith and I don't think I'm the only one. The really scary thing is that the power of the 'lith is so strong that it prevents the development of a pavlovian response.

It also doesn't mind if you post whilst having a seizure.

14:28 / 10.03.06

Hehe, I aven´t even been outside yet, today. Glued to my pc since 11.00. And of course, I got a good excuse (snow storm over northern Germany).

A friend of mine surfs the net all day at work. His actual work takes up only a fraction of his time, but they need him, so the rest of his day, he´s wwwing.

I know a guy who ostensibly does data entry, but he realised he could get away with doing very little owing to the fact that he didn't have a line manager as such, so whenever anyone asked him for their work to be donw he would say he was busy with someone elses.

He decided to see how long he could actually go without doing any work, and today marks the end of his 8th week.

14:54 / 10.03.06

This might be his boss.

So have you started that paper yet, Shrub?

Whew! Only twenty minutes late with it. The essay itself was excrement but it doesn't really matter to my grade anyway. My problem isn't the lith, though, it's laziness.

Denying the power of the 'lith over all aspects of your life only makes it stronger.

SK's right, Shrub. Just except the truth.
And Jub's friend is my new official hero.

14:42 / 31.03.06

This is my 1132nd post. Here's what I did in class for you, Barbelith.

For explanation, I can't draw. The ninja is holding a blade and some nunchuks. The second guy gets a massive head wound and then he drains the blood from his head.

I don't feel like writing a paper on "Penelope" in Ulysses. 2,500 words and I have written only ten percent of that. I just don't feel like it, or "I would prefer not to".

Le sigh

Whenever you get around to doing said essay, remember to not use a single contraction. "Let's" becomes "let us." "Can't" becomes "can not." The reason? Contractions are only one word (at least according to Microsoft Word). You may be able to add as many as 50 words to your essay simply by refusing to combine words. This is my sage-like advice to you.
